1. The patient is admitted in a near comatose state with a blood glucose level of 750. His respiratory rate is 42 breaths per minute, and his respiratory pattern is deep and regular. What is this type of breathing known as?

Ans: - Kussmaul’s respiration

Kussmaul breathing is a profound and toiled breathing example frequently connected with serious metabolic acidosis, especially diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) yet additionally kidney disappointment. Breaths are unusually profound, standard, and expanded in rate. This is basic in diabetic ketoacidosis With Cheyne­Stokes breaths, respiratory rate and profundity are sporadic, described by alternating periods of apnea and hyperventilation. The respiratory cycle starts with moderate, shallow breaths that gradually increment to irregular rate and profundity. The example turns around, and breathing eases back and becomes shallow, peaking in apnea before breath resumes. With Biot's breaths, breaths are abnormally shallow for a few breaths followed by a sporadic time of apnea. With bradypnea, the rate of breathing is standard yet unusually moderate (less than 12 breaths for each moment)
